At Virtue Homes, we know that building a custom home is more than just a project—it’s creating a space that fits your lifestyle perfectly. And winter is a great time to start laying the foundation for your new home. While the snow falls, you can take steps to streamline the process and set yourself up for success in the warmer months ahead.

Here’s why planning your custom home journey in winter is a smart move:

Time to Design Your Custom Build Plan

Winter is naturally a quieter time, making it ideal for focusing on the details of your future home. It’s the perfect opportunity to refine your plans. From conceptualization to detailed floor plans, our design-build planning typically takes 4 to 8 weeks.

By starting now, you’ll have the time to collaborate with our team of experts to create a home design that’s functional and uniquely yours. Winter planning gives you space to make thoughtful adjustments, so you’re confident in your choices before construction begins.

Get Ahead on Permits and Approvals

The paperwork side of home building—permits, inspections and design reviews—can take time. Starting these steps early helps to make sure everything is in place when it’s time to break ground.

With years of experience handling permits and approvals, the Virtue Homes team makes this part of the process easy. We’ll guide you through each step, helping to avoid unnecessary delays.

Secure Your Spot on the Construction Schedule

Spring and summer are busy seasons for custom home construction, and builders’ schedules fill up fast. By beginning your planning in winter, you can lock in your spot on Virtue Homes’ schedule early, ensuring your project is ready to start when you are.

We offer clients the option to hold building slots for a monthly fee while finalizing plans, so you never have to worry about missing your ideal timeline.
